FTDI
|
FTDI specializes in converting legacy peripherals to Universal Serial Bus (USB). They offer the easiest route to USB migration by combining USB-Serial (USB-RS232) and USB-FIFO silicon solutions with their ready-to-go royalty free USB drivers. FTDI´s "total" solutions offer reduced development and debug costs and a fast time to market.

FTDI USB-COM-PLUS Single- and Multi-Port Serial Modules
FTDI USB-COM-PLUS single- and multi-port serial communication modules provide a simple solution to the problem of connecting multiple RS232, RS422, or RS485 to USB. The FTDI USB-COM-PLUS single-port modules operate over a USB 2.0 Full Speed (12 Mb/s) interface, while the dual- and quad-port products operate over a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480 Mb/s) interface. These FTDI single-port and multi-port serial modules are powered from the USB port, require no external power adapter, and include PCB-mounted LEDs that indicate USB enumeration, RxD, and TxD signals. The USB-COM-PLUS modules handle the complete USB protocol and all level shifting without the need for any application software modifications.
FT2232H / FT4232H USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Mini Modules
The FTDI FT2232H Mini Module and FT4232H Mini Module are miniature USB 2.0 high-speed evaluation modules that support the new FT2232H and FT4232H USB 2.0 High Speed devices that can be configured in a variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces such as UART or FIFO. The module PCB measures just 36mm (L) x 30mm (W) x 12mm (H including connector pins). Each FTDI Mini Module provides access to all required signals through two 26 way (2 rows, 0.1" pitch) male headers measuring 32.9mm x 5.08mm. The pin length is 6mm. The FTDI FT2232H Mini Module provides two independent configurable interfaces while the FT4232H Mini Module offers four channels.
FTDI FT2232H / FT4232H Hi-Speed USB ICs
The FTDI FT2232H dual high-speed USB IC and FT4232H quad high-speed USB IC are USB 2.0 devices that operate at 480 Mbps. These FTDI ICs feature standard UART and FIFO modes but each IC also supports FTDI´s bit-bang modes and contains two multi-protocol synchronous serial engines (MPSSEs) to allow communication using JTAG, I2C, and SPI protocols.
FTDI Vinculum - Binding USB Technologies
Vinculum is the brand name for the new family of USB Host Controller IC devices from FTDI. VNC1L USB Host Controller ICs not only handle the USB host interface and data transfer functions, but owing to the built-in 8/32-bit MCU and embedded Flash memory, VNC1L encapsulates the USB device classes as well. The Vinculum family of devices allows the implementation of USB host controller functionality within products, thus saving development time and costs by using FTDI's tried-and-tested firmware programmed into the internal and easily upgradeable Flash memory. Available in both modules and IC form factors.
